Brian Pritchard, LCSW

Psychotherapist
NY
I specialize in treating anxiety and addiction in high-functioning adults who appear successful but feel overwhelmed, burned out, or stuck in unhealthy patterns. Many of my clients are professionals who manage careers and responsibilities well — yet privately struggle with overthinking, stress, or concerns about alcohol or substance use. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20 years of experience providing structured, evidence-based therapy. My approach is active, practical, and focused on meaningful change. We work to interrupt anxious thought cycles, strengthen emotional regulation, and address addictive behaviors with clarity and accountability. Therapy with me is not passive or open-ended. From the first sessions, we identify goals and begin building tools you can apply immediately in real life. Clients often appreciate my direct, collaborative style and the balance of compassion and structure. I offer virtual sessions for adults seeking focused, effective treatment for anxiety, stress, and substance use concerns. If you’re ready to take control of patterns that no longer serve you, you can schedule directly through my calendar here.

What should a new client know about working with you?

New patients should know that therapy with me is structured, active, and focused on meaningful change. I specialize in anxiety and addiction in high-functioning adults who appear successful but feel overwhelmed or stuck. From the first session, we clarify goals and begin building practical tools to reduce overthinking, strengthen emotional regulation, and address substance use patterns with accountability and support. With 20 years of clinical experience, I bring a direct yet compassionate approach. I won’t just listen — I’ll help you understand what’s driving your patterns and give you strategies you can apply immediately in real life. If you’re ready for focused, evidence-based therapy that moves you forward, I welcome you to schedule an appointment.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

In our initial sessions, we'll clarify your goals and begin implementing practical strategies right away. Most clients begin noticing shifts within the first few sessions as we build skills and increase awareness. Therapy is collaborative, focused, and results-oriented. When addiction is involved, I bring a direct yet compassionate approach that balances support with structure.
